1851 Uncle Toms Cabin Key Beecher Stowe Slavery Abolition Civil War + 1853 Key
“A moral battle cry for freedom!”
– Langston Hughes on Uncle Toms Cabin.
No other work of literature helped lay the groundwork for the American Civil War quite like Harriet Beecher Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin. In turn, many historians have credited this novel with being the contributing factor to the Civil War. This incredible story portrays slave families being torn apart through being sold and resold by slave masters. This story had a polarizing reaction. Over 300,000 of the first edition had to be printed, but remarkably was banned in most of the American South! Even still, it was the most-popular and highest-selling book in the 19th-century and is on the Grolier American 100!
Following the radical responses to her monumental book Uncle Toms Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote a defense of the work and its content entitled A Key to Uncle Toms Cabin. While there was little doubt as to where Stowe stood on slavery, A Key supplied Stowe an outlet to describe and push her own anti-slavery views.
